Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the account of the Trust Fund, and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a Mortgage Loan which was purchased or repurchased from the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof. In the event that title to any such REO Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall either sell any REO Property within two years after the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 86OG(a)(8) of the Code or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request an extension of the two-year grace period, more than 60 days before the day on which the two-year grace period would otherwise expire, unless the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to two years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 86OF of the Code, or cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 86OG(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any "income from non- permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 86OF(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. The Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to the REO Properties, net of any directly related expenses incurred or withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property. If as of the date of acquisition of title to any REO Property there remain outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such REO Property or any outstanding Advances allocated thereto the Master Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unreimbursed related Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.15. Subject to the first paragraph of this Section 3.22, the REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall determine to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration). The Master Servicer shall deposit the proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Master Servicer as provided above, in the Custodial Account upon receipt thereof for distribution in accordance with Section 4.01, including any such net proceeds which are in excess of the applicable Stated Principal Balance plus all unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon through the date of the REO Disposition. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.22, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer has received notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall promptly request the Trustee and the Depositor to provide directions and instructions with respect to such Mortgage Loan and shall act in accordance with any such directions and instructions jointly provided by the Trustee and the Depositor. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Section 3.22, with respect to any Mortgage Loan described by such sentence, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to the related Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, the related Mortgaged Property, unless (i) the Depositor and the Trustee jointly direct the Master Servicer to take such action and (ii) either (A) the Master Servicer has, at least 30 days prior to taking such action, obtained and delivered to the Depositor an environmental audit report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards or (B) the Depositor has directed the Master Servicer not to obtain an environmental audit report. If the Trustee and the Depositor have not jointly provided directions and instructions to the Master Servicer in connection with any such Mortgage Loan within 30 days of a request by the Master Servicer for such directions and instructions, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage. The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.22 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Custodial Account. If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property in compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Custodial Account.
Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken, pursuant to a limited power of attorney in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee (which in no event shall be the Special Servicer) in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Special Servicer (with a copy delivered to the Trustee) from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any such Opinion of Counsel will be deemed a Servicing Advance, reimbursable to the Special Servicer in accordance with Section 3.04. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Trustee. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Special Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Special Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Special Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a default or imminent default on a Transferred Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property not later than the end of the third taxable year after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Special Servicer has applied for and received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service (and provide a copy of the same to the Master Servicer and the Trustee) to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the applicable Trust REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC and has notified the Master Servicer and the Trustee of such extension by providing a copy of the application and the grant of such extension to the Trustee and the Master Servicer. If the Special Servicer has received such an extension (and provided a copy of the same to the Master Servicer and the Trustee), then the Special Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Special Servicer has not received such an extension and the Special Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the end of such third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Special Servicer has received such an extension, and the Special Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Special Servicer shall, before the end of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be. The Trustee shall sign any document reasonably requested by, and at the expense of, the Special Servicer, or take any other action reasonably requested by the Special Servicer which would enable the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such grant of extension. In all cases, the disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Special Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any Trust REMIC to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes. The Special Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Special Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Monthly Advances made pursuant to this Section or Section 4.03 or the REO Disposition Fee. The Special Servicer shall make advances of all funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 3.10, such advances to be reimbursed from the disposition or liquidation proceeds of the REO Property. The Special Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Master Servicer of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in this Section 3.17 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).
Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Trust Fund Upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Master Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make a final remittance to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01, and the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Sections 9.10 and 9.14) shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 7.01(b) and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be carried out in such a manner so that the termination of each REMIC included therein shall qualify as a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions.
Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements For so long as the Trust or any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, shall (i) cause each Sub-Servicing Agreement (with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or sub-servicing agreement (with respect to any other Servicer) to which it is a party to entitle the Depositor to terminate such agreement (without compensation, termination fee or the consent of any other Person) at any time following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article X and (ii) promptly notify the Depositor following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article X. The Depositor is hereby authorized to exercise the rights described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence in its sole discretion. The rights of the Depositor to terminate a Sub-Servicing Agreement (with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or sub-servicing agreement (with respect to any other Servicer) as aforesaid shall not limit any right Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may have to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement or sub-servicing agreement, as applicable.
Termination Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans (a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Article IX, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth, the Trust and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee created hereby shall terminate in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute upon (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer pursuant to the following paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) of all Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in the REMIC formed under this Agreement at a price equal, after the deduction of related advances, to the sum of (x) the excess of (A) 100% of the aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans) plus accrued interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate with respect to such Mortgage Loan (other than a Liquidated Mortgage Loan) through the last day of the month of such purchase, over (B) with respect to any Mortgage Loan which is not a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the amount of the Bankruptcy Loss incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan as of the date of such purchase by the Master Servicer to the extent that the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan has not been previously reduced by such Bankruptcy Loss, and (y) the appraised fair market value as of the effective date of the termination of the Trust of (A) all property in the Trust which secured a Mortgage Loan and which was acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure after the Cut-Off Date, including related Insurance Proceeds, and (B) all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement, any such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or (ii) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure in respect of any Mortgage Loan, and the payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the issue of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. On any Distribution Date after the first date on which the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the Clean-Up Call Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, the Master Servicer may purchase the outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement at the price stated in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph; provided, that the Master Servicer may not so purchase the outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement if the price stated in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph exceeds the fair market value, determined in accordance with prudent industry practices, of all outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement. If such right is exercised, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee (and to the Company, if the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer) the written certification of an officer of the Master Servicer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts required to be paid in order to purchase the Mortgage Loans have been deposited in the Certificate Account) and the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall promptly execute all instruments as may be necessary to release and assign to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files and any foreclosed Mortgaged Property pertaining to the Trust. In no event shall the Master Servicer be required to expend any amounts other than those described in the first paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) in order to terminate the Trust or purchase the Mortgage Loans under this Section 9.01, and in no event shall the Company be required to expend any amounts in connection with such termination or purchase. (b) Notice of any termination, specifying the date upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by letter from the Trustee to Certificateholders mailed not less than 30 days prior to such final distribution, specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein designated (the “Termination Date”), (ii) the amount of such final payment (the “Termination Payment”) and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to the Distribution Date upon which the Termination Date occurs is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein specified. Upon any such notice, the Certificate Account shall terminate subject to the Master Servicer’s obligation to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment. In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the Termination Date, the Master Servicer shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the Termination Payment with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Master Servicer may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain in trust hereunder. Upon the completion of winding up of the Trust, including the payment or the making reasonable provision for payment of all obligations of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Statute, the Delaware Trustee shall prepare, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and any other trustee hereunder shall sign, and the Delaware Trustee (upon the Trustee’s consent acting at the direction of the Master Servicer) shall file, a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute, at which time the Trust and this Agreement shall terminate. The Master Servicer shall act as the liquidator of the Trust and shall be responsible for taking all actions in connection with winding up the Trust, in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement (including this Section 9.01 and Section 9.02) and applicable law.
